Spot Charmed His Way
Into Ayscue Household
Spot Where's-theKitty Ayscue
lives in Morehead City. He wu
born in Newport, sired by Skeebo,
bull dog of the house of W. B.
Allen.
Spot it two yean old and prob
ably the best-known dog in the
county because his adopted father,
M. M. Ayscue, deputy sheriff and
county ABC officer, gets around
about as much as anyone and it's a
rare day if Spot isn't with him.
Spot would almost rather ride
in a car than eat. But if "the
boas" leaves the car, . Spot goes
too. He * seldom a lonesome pup,
but he's a spoiled one. His owners
are the first to admit it.
Mrs. Ayscue says he won't eat
oat of a dish. He eats from a
spoon. When he's hungry he trots
to the kitchen, gets his spoon and
carries it to Mrs. Ayscue. Eat any
thing in chunks bigger than bite
slier Not this dog
Why should he exert himself to
chew things up if somebody will
cut it up for him?
The Ayscues took over owner
ship of Spot when he was about
six weeks old. Mrs. Ayscue told
her husband, "He's your dog. K^cp
him out In the back yard. I won't
have anything to do with him."
But Spot soon changed that.
How can you reaiat a pup who,
when you come in and toss your
car keys aside he picks them up
in his mouth and comes to you,
an imploring look in his eyes:
"Please take me for a ride." He
geta hia ride.
If you ask him "Where's the
Spot and the bom
kitty?" his ears prick up, and he
iooka until you think his eyes are
going to pop out. One of his
favorite playthings is a broom. He
hauls it around the housa, tears the
broom straws out, shakes the han
dle and puts up a last-ditch figbt
against anyone who tries to take
it from him.
He looks out for his mistress
while her husband Is on his travels.
If "the boss" gets near another
girl or pretends to hug her. 8 pot
growls at him and frequently
clamp* his Jaws around his lag.
A white handkerchief in the
boss's pocket is like a red flag
In front of a bull as far as Spot
8m SPOT, Pan t
* C. Gehrmann Holland, assis
tant commercial fisheries commis
sioner, yesterday held little hope
{or big shrimp catches until the
weather improves.
The season opened a minute af
ter midnight Sunday. The weather
since then has been cold and winds
blustery. Mr. Holland said he had
word from Pamlico Sound yester
day that the boats there were doing
nothing.
"We know that the shrimp have
to have warm water before they
shed and grow and until we get
some warmer weather and moder
ate winds, the catches will be
small," Mr. Holland remarked.
The price to the shrimper per
pound is running about 20 cents
with the heads on.
One Rig Catch
A slight break in the weather
came Tuesday when one boat re
ported a catch of 1,200 pounds but
that was an exception. Most boats
got no more than about 100 pounds.
While night shrimping usually
brings the bigest profits, little of
that has been done because of the
weather. The shrimp are believed
to be as numerous in inland waters
this year as last when the total
catch was valued at two million
dollars.
Cecil Morris, Atlantic, chairman
of the commercial fisheries com
mittee of the State Board of Con
servation and Development said
early this week that the market
prospects for shrimp didn't appear
too good. He expressed the hope
that conditions will improve.
Out-of-state buyers generally ex
press the opinion that North Caro
lina shrimp are superior in quality
to those taken in other areas, he
added.
Mr. Holland said that thus far no
licenses have been sold to out-of
state shrimpers. A recent revision
of commercial fisheries regula
tions requires that all out-of-state
shrimpers dispose of their catche*
at North Carolina ports.

Driver Found
Guilty Monday
Abel Nolen, 415 Pollock St..
Beaufort, was found guilty in More
' head City Recorder's Court Monday
I of following too closely, causing an
accident.
Nolen was involved in a three-car
collision at 1 o'clock Sunday after
noon on the Atlantic Beach draw
bridge. Drivers of the other cars
were Robert L. Mills, Cherry Point
in a 1949 Pontiac convertible and
Mrs. Robert Seamon, Morehead
City, in a 1952 Pontiac. Nolen was
driving a pick up truck.
The three vehicles were in a
line of traffic going toward More
head City. The draw had closed
and the traffic was moving when
Mills stopped because the cars
ahead of him halted. Mrs Seamon
had almost stopped, according to
R. II. Brown, state highway patrol
man, when Nolen struck the rear
of her car.
Damage to the rear of Mills car
was estimated at $250: damage
to both the front and rear of the
seamon automobile was $601, and
damage to the pickup was $75.
Nolen was fined $10 and costs
by Judge George McNeill. The ac
cident occurred on the north eng

' Wheels were turning in Carteret County yesterday to'
prevent the dog track at Morehead City from going into
operation.
Legal action is expected to follow within two weeks a
resolution passed by the Carteret Ministers Association
which requests that operation of the track "be restrained
in luvanve ox me summer
season."
In spite of the action being taken
to close the track, action of which
track officials have been aware for
the past month, the track is expect
ed to open. Racing officials hope
to make an announcement follow
ing a decision by federal district
Judge Don Gilliam.
The judge was to pass this week
on a motion by operators of the
Moyock track who are asking that
North Carolina officials be re
strained from prosecuting bettors
at the track.
They claim that operation of the
Moyock track and betting there do
not constitute violation of the state
laws and that the recent Supreme
Court decision against the track is
a violation of rights granted under
the federal constitution.
The way Judge Gilliam rules will
have bearing on plans for opening
the track at Morejbead City. If he
rules in favor of ^he Moyock op
erators, the racing interests will
have obtained a weighty legal
weapon to wield against those who
would shut down the Morehead
City operation.
If he rules against the race track
interests, the case will probably be
carried before the United States
Supreme Court. A New York law
yer, Arthur Garfield Hayes, has
been retained by track owners to
assist in their case.
Resolution Passed
Carteret County ministers, at
their April meeting, approved by
an 8 to 5 vote a resolution which
asks that District Solicitor William
J. Bundy, Greenville, take neces
sary action to prevent the track
from opening this summer.
The resolution was drafted by
the Rev. R. H. Jackson, pastor of
the Free Will Baptist Church.
Davis, and the Rev. James Dees,
rector of St. Paul's Episcopal
Church, Beaufort. Another mem
ber of the resolution committee,
the Rev. H. H. Cash, Methodist
minister of Marshallberg, told THE
NEWS-TIMES yesterday that he
war chairman of "the original com
mitter" butJK^as conducting a
revival at wanntese during the
drafting of the resolution.
The resolution, made public this
week, follows:
"We, the undersigned members
of the Carteret County Ministers
Association, have in regular meet
ing, resolved that action be com
menced against the Carolina Rac
ing Association, and or other op
erators or users of the dog racing
track lying to the west of More
head City, in Carteret County, N. C.
"We believe this action should
be commenced now, in order that
the operation be restrained in ad
vance of the 1954 summer season.
"We are taking this action now,
as we feel that we should be dere
lict in our duty as assistants to you
as guardian of public morals, espe
cially in view of the recent decision
as to the Currituck Special Act
which, we are advised, is similar
